The police issued a nationwide bulletin yesterday for help finding an infant boy whose mother was found murdered in the Bronx.

The 6-week-old baby, Andre Bryant, was last seen late Wednesday afternoon when his mother got into a late-model maroon-colored Pontiac with him near their home in the Bushwick section of Brooklyn, said Sgt. James Dugan of the 83rd Precinct.

Her body was discovered the next morning by a jogger at Eastchester Bay Inlet at City Island in the Bronx. The woman, Monique Rivera, 22, of 967 Madison Avenue, had been strangled.

Her longtime companion, Timothy Bryant, 24, who has two other children with Ms. Rivera, is cooperating in the investigation, the police said.

The police described the car as a 1988 or 1989 Pontiac Grand Am with tinted windows. Two women in their 20s or 30s were in the car when it picked up Ms. Rivera. The police said they thought she had gone shopping with them.
